ABSTRACT

7

The atmospheric process dynamically changes the chemical compositions of organic aerosol (OA),

8

thereby complicating the interpretation of its health effects. In this study, the dynamic evolution of the

9

oxidative potential of various OA was studied, including wood combustion particles and secondary

10

organic aerosols (SOA) generated from different hydrocarbons (i.e. gasoline, toluene, isoprene and α-

11

pinene). The oxidative potential of OA at different aging stages was subsequently measured by the

12

dithiothreitol consumption (DTTm, mass normalized). We hypothesized that DTT consumptions by

13

OA were modulated by catalytic particulate oxidizers (e.g., quinones), non-catalytic particulate

14

oxidizers (e.g., organic hydroperoxides and peroxyacyl nitrates) and electron-deficient alkenes. The

15

results of this study showed that the oxidative potential of OA decreased after an extended period of

16

aging due to the decomposition of particulate oxidizers and electron-deficient alkenes. Quinones (GC-

17

MS data) partially attributed to the DTTm of fresh wood smoke particles but rapidly dropped with

18

aging. In biogenic SOA, organic hydroperoxides (4-nitrophenyl boronic acid assay) exclusively

19

accounted for DTTm and decreased with aging. The DTTm of aromatic SOA, mainly comprising

20

organic hydroperoxides and electron-deficient alkenes (FTIR data), was shortly elevated during the

21

early atmospheric process, however, showed a noticeable decrease (32-75%) for a long period of

22

aging. We concluded that fresh or moderately aged OA are more reactive to a sulfhydryl group than

23

highly aged OA.

1. INTRODUCTION

27

Exposure to particulate matter (PM2.5, aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 µm) has been implicated in the

28

detrimental cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases (e.g. asthma, and myocardial infarction).1-3

29

Organic aerosol (OA) comprises a substantial fraction (20-90%) of PM2.5,4 however, the health effect

30

of OA remains unknown. OA is a complex mixture of organic compounds and contains a large fraction

31

of particulate oxidizers, which may react with cellular antioxidants (e.g. glutathione peroxidase-1;

32

GSH), thereby interrupting the oxidative balance and leading to a cascade of oxidative stress

33

responses.5

34

A chemical assay using dithiothreitol (DTT), a surrogate of biological reducing agents, has been

35

widely applied to measure the capability of PM2.5 to oxidize cellular materials. Catalytic particulate

36

oxidizers like quinones can efficiently oxidize DTT through a redox cycle and have been recognized

37

as the major contributors to the oxidative potential of PM2.5.6, 7 However, the fraction of quinones in

38

OA is low, especially in secondary organic aerosols (SOA).8-11 Our previous studies have reported the

39

importance of non-catalytic oxidizers (e.g. organic hydroperoxides (OHP) and peroxyacyl nitrates

40

(PAN)) and electron-deficient alkenes in DTT responses of OA.12, 13 Congruently, OHP (including

41

alkyl hydroperoxides and acyl hydroperoxides) and PAN can oxidize DTT to disulfides, sulfenic acids,

42

sulfinic acids or sulfonic acids through non-catalytic reactions.14, 15 An electron deficient alkene is

43

defined as the C=C (alkene) double bond coupled with an electron withdrawing group, such as a

44

carbonyl, a nitro, and a carboxylic acid.16 An electron-deficient alkene can react with a sulfhydryl

45

group in DTT via a Michael addition.16

46

The fraction of particulate oxidizers in OA can be dynamically changed by the atmospheric process.

47

During the initial aging process of hydrocarbons (HC) or OA, the molecular weight and the oxidation

48

state of aerosol products presents an increase owing to the addition of oxygenated functional groups.

49

After a long aging period, high-volatility compounds begin to form through the fragmentation of low-

50

volatility compounds.17 The impact of the aging process on particulate oxidizers of OA has been

51

studied using state-of-art techniques such as chemical ionization mass spectrometers and aerosol mass

52

spectrometers.18 These studies, however, were limited to the tentative analysis of stable products due

53

to the lack of standards and the instability of particulate oxidizers under high operation temperature of

54

these instruments.

55

The current work studied the aging effect on the oxidative potential of OA and its chemical

56

compositions. OA is either derived from wood combustion smoke or produced from the

57

photooxidation of HCs (i.e. gasoline, toluene, isoprene and α-pinene) in a large outdoor smog

58

chamber. Gasoline, a highly volatile mixture of C4-C9 HCs, can easily evaporate into the atmosphere,

59

and makes a large contribution (~4 Tg/yr) to global SOA.19 Wood combustion particles, containing a

60

large amount of organic mass (e.g. oxygenated HCs and substituted aromatic HCs.), constitute 14% -

61

30% of primary fine particles in the urban air.20-22 The oxidative potential of OA at different aging

62

stages was measured using DTT assay. In order to study the significance of quinones in the oxidative

63

potential of OA and their stability with photochemical aging, quinones in wood smoke particles and

64

gasoline SOA were measured by gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) over the course

65

of the chamber experiment. OHP and PAN compounds in OA were quantified using 4-nitrophenol

66

boronic acid (NPBA) assay and Griess assay, respectively. The abundance of electron-deficient

67

alkenes was analysed using a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer.

2 MATERIALS AND METHODS

69

2.1 Outdoor chamber experiments

70

The photooxidation of HCs and wood smoke experiments were conducted at the University of Florida

71

Atmospheric Photochemical Outdoor Reactor (UF-APHOR) with dual chambers (52 m3 each). The

72

chambers were flushed using the clean air generated from the air purifiers (GC Series, IQAir) for two

73

days prior to each experiment. Wood burning smoke particles were generated under either open-fire

74

combustion (250 °C) or smoldering combustion (150 °C) using commercial hickory hardwood. For

75

the experiments to form SOA from HCs (i.e. gasoline, toluene, isoprene, and α-pinene), liquid HC was

76

injected into the chamber using a glass manifold with clean air. CCl4 was also introduced to monitor

77

the chamber dilution. The desired volume of NO (2% in N2, Airgas) was injected using a syringe

78

through the injection port connected to the chamber. All chemical species were introduced to the

79

chamber before sunrise. A gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (HP 5890) was applied to

80

measure the concentrations of HCs and CCl4. Concentrations of NOx and O3 were monitored using a

81

chemiluminescence NO-NOx analyzer (Model 200 E) and a photometric O3 analyzer (Model 400 E),

82

respectively. The relative humidity (RH) and temperature were measured using a hygrometer (the

83

Campbell Scientific, CS215-L). The sunlight intensity was monitored inside the chamber using the

84

ultraviolet radiometer (TUVR, the Eppley Laboratory, wavelength 290-385 nm). Particle number

85

concentration was monitored using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS, TSI, Model 3080)

86

coupled with a condensation nuclei counter (TSI, Model 3025A and Model 3022). The particle number

87

concentration was converted to the mass concentration using the density of OA (1.3 g cm-3 for -

88

pinene SOA and 1.4 g cm-3 for other OAs).11, 23, 24 The experimental conditions and SOA yields are

listed in Table 1. The time profiles of concentrations of OA mass, NOx, NO, and O3 are shown in

90

Figure S1.

91

2.2 Sampling and extraction methods

92

A particle-into-liquid sampler (PILS) coupled with a carbon denuder (to remove gaseous compounds)

93

was utilized to collect particles within a small amount of water at an air flow rate of 13 L/min.25 The

94

PILS collection efficiency is larger than 95% for particles in this study.25 The PILS samples were

95

subsequently applied to the chemical assays described in Section 2.3.

96

The Teflon filter (13 mm diameter, Pall Life SciencePallflex, type TX40HI20-WW) was applied to

97

collect wood smoke particles or gasoline SOA at a flow rate of 28 L/min with the use of a pump.

98

Immediately after sampling, a 10-L of internal standard, comprising of six deuterated PAHs, was

99

added to the filter. The details of the internal standard can be found in Section S2.1, Supporting

100

Information (SI). The particles were then incubated in 20 mL methylene chloride for 6 h at room

101

temperature to extract the organic compounds. Metals and black carbon were excluded due to their

102

poor solubility in methylene chloride. The extraction efficiency of particles was about 40-80%, which

103

was estimated using the filter mass before and after solvent extraction. The filter-extract was

104

subsequently concentrated to 0.3 mL using dry air, transferred to a GC vial, and applied to the GC-

105

MS analysis.

106

2.3 Chemical assays

107

The QA/QC data of DTT assay, OHP analysis, and PAN analysis can be found in our previous study.13

108

The DTT measurement of wood smoke particles utilized the filter-extract samples, and all other

109

chemical analysis used the PILS samples.

2.3.1 DTT assay

111

The oxidative potential of OA was measured using the DTT assay. A reaction mixture of 1.9 mL filter-

112

extract or PILS sample, 0.6 mL potassium phosphate buffer (25 mM), and 0.5 mL DTT (0.875 mM)

113

was incubated at 37 °C and continuously shaken using an Edison Environmental Incubator Shaker

114

(G24) at a low shaking speed. After a specific incubation time (t, ranging from 50 min to 280 min), a

115

0.5-mL of the reaction mixture was withdrawn and transferred to another vial, in which 0.5 mL

116

trichloroacetic acid (1% w/v; the quenching reagent) was previously added. Then, 0.5 mL DTNB (1

117

mM) and 0.5 mL Tris-base buffer (0.4 M, pH=8.9) were added to the quenched mixture. The residual

118

DTT in the quenched mixture reacted with DTNB to form a yellow-color product, 2-nitro-5-

119

thiobenzoic acid, which presents a high molar extinction coefficient (14150 M−1 cm−1) at 412 nm

120

wavelength. The absorbance of the final mixture at 412 nm was measured using a UV/Vis

121

Spectrometer (Lambda, PerkinElmer). Positive controls (0.25 μM PQN) and blank controls (DI water)

122

were run in duplicates for each set of DTT measurements. The blank-corrected DTT consumption by

123

OA (∆DTTOA, nmol) was calculated using the absorbance of DTT-blank mixture without incubation

124

(A0), the absorbance of DTT-blank mixture after incubation (Ablk), the absorbance of DTT-OA mixture

125

(AOA) after the reaction, and the initial DTT concentration (DTT0, nmol). ∆DTTOA =

126 127

The mass-normalized DTT consumption, DTTm, is defined as, DTTm =

128

∆DTTOA mOA

(2)

129

where mOA is the OA mass applied to the DTT measurement. The DTT consumption was restricted

130

within 50% of the initial DTT concentration by constraining the OA mass added to the reaction

131

mixture.

2.3.2 OHP analysis

133

1 mL PILS sample was incubated with 100 μL NPBA solution (10 mM in methanol), and 900 μL

134

KOH (50 mM) at 85 °C for 7 h. NPBA reacted with OHP to form a yellow-color product, 4-

135

nitrophenol, which presents a large molar extinction coefficient (18000 M−1 cm−1) at 406 nm. Positive

136

controls (20 μM H2O2) and blank controls (DI water) were run in duplicates for each set of

137

measurements.

138

2.3.3 PAN analysis

139

PAN type compounds in 300 μL PILS sample were firstly hydrolyzed by adding 300 μL KOH (50

140

mM) to form nitrites. Then, 1 mL Griess reagent (a mixture of 20 mM sulfanilic acid and 5 mM n-(1-

141

naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride) was added to react with nitrites forming azo dyes that

142

could be quantified based on their absorbance at 541 nm wavelength. Positive controls (10 μM NaNO2)

143

and blank controls (DI water) were run in duplicates for each set of measurements.

144

2.4 GC-MS analysis

145

Quinone compounds were analyzed using GC-MS. A 10-L of recovery standard (Section S2.2) was

146

added to each GC vial before GC-MS analysis. A 1-μL filter-extract sample was injected in on-column

147

mode to a Varian CP-3800 gas chromatograph interfaced with a Varian Saturn 2200 mass

148

spectrometer. The column oven temperature was held at 45 °C for 0.5 min; then ramped to 100 °C by

149

a 15 °C/min gradient and held for 2.5 min; and finally ramped to 280 °C with a 12 °C/min and held

150

for 8 min. The individual compounds in particle extracts were identified using an external standard

151

(Section S2.3) and tentatively analyzed using the National Institute of Standards and Technology

152

(NIST) library. Only PQN and anthraquinone (AQN) were detected in the wood smoke particles.

2.5 FTIR analysis

154

The functionalities in toluene SOA was analyzed using an FTIR (Nicolet Magma 560, Madison, WI,

155

USA). The chamber particles were collected on a silicon FTIR disc (13 × 2 mm, Sigma–Aldrich, St

156

Louis, MO, USA) by impaction. The mass of collected particles was determined by measuring the

157

FTIR disc mass before and after the sampling.

3 RESULT AND DISCUSSION

159

3.1 The effect of the atmospheric process on the oxidative potential of OA

160

Traditionally, catalytic particulate oxidizers such as quinones in PM have been of wide interest due to

161

their high production of ROS through catalytic processes.5 Assuming the pseudo-first order reaction

162

of the DTT consumption by quinones, DTTm should linearly increase with reaction time t and the

163

mass-normalized consumption rate of DTT should be constant.12 Hence, mass-normalized DTT

164

consumption rate has been used to represent the oxidative potential of PM. However, if DTT is

165

consumed via a non-catalytic process, DTTm is nonlinear to t.

166

Figure 1 (1a-1b) and Figure 2 (2a-2b) illustrate the oxidative potential (DTTm) of various OA at

167

different aging stages. As shown in Figure 1a, for freshly generated wood combustion OA, the DTTm

168

of both high-temp and smoldering wood samples increased linearly with t, thereby suggesting that the

169

DTT consumption originated mainly from the catalytic processes of quinones. However, the

170

relationship between DTTm vs. t became deviated from linearity as wood smoke particles aged, thus

171

suggesting that the DTT consumption was dominated by non-catalytic processes. Additionally, DTTm

172

dropped by 52% for high-temp wood particle samples after a 9-h aging, and 74% for smoldering

173

samples after a 7-h aging (Figure 1b). 9

174

As shown in Figure 2a, the DTTm of gasoline SOA was found to be nonlinear to t during the entire

175

period of SOA formation. It has been evidenced that gasoline SOA is mainly formed from the

176

photooxidation of mono-aromatic ring HCs, such as toluene, (o, m, p)-xylene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene

177

and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene.26 Hence, in order to understand the behaviour of DTTm of aromatic SOA,

178

the DTTm of toluene SOA produced under two different NOx conditions was measured. HNOX-

179

toluene SOA showed a slightly higher DTTm than LNOX-toluene SOA (Figure 2a). Similar to gasoline

180

SOA, the DTTm values of all toluene SOA samples were nonlinear to t. This implicates that DTTm

181

was governed by non-catalytic DTT-reactive compounds. Additionally, as illustrated in Figure 2b, The

182

DTTm of both gasoline and toluene SOA were influenced by the aging process. A 32% reduction in

183

gasoline DTTm occurred after a 6-h aging. DTTm of HNOX-toluene SOA presented an increase in

184

early aging time (before noontime) and then a sharp decrease (up to 50%) as SOA further aged in the

185

afternoon. For LNOX-toluene, a significant decrease (up to 75%) of DTTm appeared over the course

186

of the chamber experiment.

187

Figure 2 also shows the DTTm of isoprene SOA and α-pinene SOA. The DTTm of biogenic SOA was

188

nonlinear to t (Figure 2a) as expected in that there are no quinone products in biogenic SOA. Within

189

our sampling period, a slight decrease of DTTm was observed between 12:15 and 14:25 for HNOX-

190

isoprene SOA and a noticeable drop of DTTm appeared between 10:40 to 13:00 for LNOX-α-pinene

191

SOA (Figure 2b).

192

3.2 Evolution of particulate oxidizers

193

To decipher the DTT consumptions by various OA, the chemical characteristics of particulate

194

oxidizers in OA were determined. It was observed that the atmospheric process lead to the dynamic

195

evolution of particulate oxidizers. As expected, quinones were revealed to be only significant in fresh

10

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 11 of 28

Environmental Science & Technology

196

wood smoke OA, but not in other OA. A considerable amount of OHP appeared in all OA, and OHP

197

in SOA showed a dramatic reduction with a long-period aging process. However, the formation of

198

PAN was insignificant in all the OA studied.

199

3.2.1 Particulate oxidizers in wood combustion OA

200

The time profiles of quinones (PQN+AQN) in wood smoke particles were determined using GC-MS

201

analysis (Figure 3). There was a large amount of quinones in fresh wood smoke OA, which can well

202

explain the linear increase of DTTm with t (Figure 1a). Compared to quinones (65 pmol/μg) in fresh

203

smoldering OA, a higher concentration of quinones (80 pmol/μg) was observed in fresh high-temp

204

OA. This result is in parallel with the higher DTTm as observed in fresh high-temp OA (Figure 1a).

205

However, as particles aged, the concentrations of quinones presented a dramatic drop to a negligible

206

amount, congruent to the nonlinearity between DTTm and t (Figure 1a). The aging effect on wood

207

smoke particles has also been reported by Zhong et al. who observed a bleaching of chromophores

208

(e.g. quinoids and phenols) with the progression of photooxidation. Quinones such as AQN can be

209

photooxidized and decomposed to substituted-phenols, substituted-benzaldehydes, and ring-opening

210

products with aging (Figure S2).27, 28

211

Non-catalytic particulate oxidizers in wood smoke were also determined. As shown in Figure 1b, there

212

was about 2 nmol/μg of OHP detected in wood smoke OA, and the OHP showed no significant change

213

for long periods of aging. OHP contributed to 12-24 % of DTTm for high-temp wood samples and 28-

214

78 % for smoldering samples (Figure 1c). Nevertheless, there were still unexplainable DTTm

215

outcomes. For example, there was a large gap between DTTm and OHP in aged wood smoke particles,

216

implicating the existence of other non-catalytic DTT-active species. Wood combustion has been

217

reported to produce a large fraction (36-42%) of aromatic compounds,29 which can generate electron-

11

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Environmental Science & Technology

218

deficient alkenes through the photooxidation.8,

219

partially attributed to these electron-deficient alkenes. The importance of electron-deficient alkenes in

220

wood smoke particles needs to be investigated further.

221

3.2.2 Particulate oxidizers in gasoline SOA and toluene SOA

222

Quinones were not detected in gasoline SOA (GC-MS data not shown).26 The quantity of OHP in

223

aromatic SOA showed an increase in the morning while a noticeable decrease in the afternoon. For

224

example, OHP in gasoline SOA increased from 2.3 nmol/μg (9:00) to 3.2 nmol/μg (11:30) and dropped

225

back to 2.2 nmol/μg (14:40). OHP in HNOX-toluene SOA increased from 2.3 nmol/μg (10:20) to 3.5

226

nmol/μg (12:30) and dropped to 1.2 nmol/μg (17:00). The quantity of PAN in aromatic SOA, though

227

insignificant, showed a similar trend to OHP with aging. The concentration of organic peroxides

228

(ROOR and OHP) in SOA formation have also been measured in other studies using the iodometric-

229

spectrophotometric method. For example, Sato et al. reported a 17 wt % of organic peroxides in

230

LNOX-toluene SOA. However, the NPBA assay with a high accuracy and robustness has been for the

231

first time used to measure the OHP solely in our studies.13

232

The increases of both OHP and PAN in the early stage of the aging process should be ascribed to the

233

functionalization in the photooxidation products formed from aromatic HCs, as shown in reactions

234

SR1-SR7, SI.31 Conversely, the decay of OHP and PAN can be explained by photolysis (reactions

235

SR8 and SR9),32,

236

(Scheme S1 and S2),10, 35, 36 or in-particle chemistry with other aerosol products (Schemes S3).37 The

237

rate constant and corresponding half-life with respect to the decomposition of selected OHP and PAN

238

compounds are summarized in Table S1.13, 32-35, 38-41 PAN is thermally unstable with a half-life ranging

239

from 49 min to 55 min at 298 K.34 The reaction of PAN with OH is unimportant given its extremely

DTTm of wood combustion particles could be

240

low rate constant (e.g. 310-14 cm3/molecule/s for CH3C(O)OONO2 + OH).33 However, the major sink

241

of OHP is attributed to its reaction with OH radicals. For example, the attack of TLBIPEROOH (a

242

secondary product from the photooxidation of toluene) by OH radicals leads to a half-life of 35 min

243

at 298 K.35, 36 The OHP may also be attacked by a carbonyl group via a Baeyer–Villiger reaction

244

(Scheme S3).37 This reaction has been evidenced to be more preferable for aldehydes than ketones.37

245

Multifunctional products containing both an aldehyde and a hydroperoxide group are abundant in

246

toluene SOA and may allow the rapid intra-molecular reaction of a hydroperoxide with an aldehyde,

247

leading to a rapid reduction of DTTm with aging.

248

However, DTTm of aromatic SOA with aging can only be partially attributed to OHP and PAN. For

249

example, as shown in Figure 2c, OHP (mostly) and PAN together contributed only 23-38% to DTTm

250

in LNOX-gasoline, 22-35% in HNOX-toluene, and 25-73% in LNOX-toluene. Hence, the source of a

251

large fraction of DTT response remained uncertain. We hypothesized that electron-deficient alkenes

252

that could react with DTT through a Michael addition could be major contributors to DTTm of aromatic

253

SOA. Electron-deficient alkenes refer to the alkenes coupled with electron-withdrawing groups (e.g.

254

carbonyl and nitrates) and are commonly found in ring-opening products from the photooxidation of

255

mono-ring aromatic HCs (Scheme S4).42, 43 To confirm their significance in DTTm, electron-deficient

256

alkenes in toluene SOA were quantified using FTIR analysis. Figure 4a shows the concentrations of

257

functionalities (C-H, O-H, C=O, C(=O)O-H, CH=CH) in LNOX-toluene SOA (mid-collection time

258

of 15:00) that were estimated by decoupling the FTIR spectrum (Figure S3 and Table S2)42, 44. The

259

mass fraction of OHP in LNOX-toluene SOA at 15:00 was estimated based on interpolation of OHP

260

values in Figure 2b. The signal of organonitrate (1645 cm-1, 1559 cm-1, and 1340 cm-1) 42 in the FTIR

261

spectrum was found to be negligible. Thus, we assumed that most C=C groups were conjugated with

262

electron-withdrawing groups such as C=O and C(=O)O-H. This assumption was also supported by the 13

263

alkene products, which were simulated using the MCM mechanism for toluene photooxidation.35, 36

264

The total mole concentration of electron-deficient alkenes in LNOX-toluene SOA was estimated to be

265

up to 5.0 nmol/μg-SOA, which can completely account for the gap between DTTm and OHP+PAN

266

(Figure 4b). Hence, we imply that electron-deficient alkenes are important contributors to DTTm of

267

toluene SOA, and presumably to that of gasoline SOA. The decrease of the gap between DTTm and

268

OHP+PAN with a long period of aging thus can be inferred to have been caused by the decomposition

269

of electron-deficient alkenes during further photooxidation processes (Table S1 and Scheme S5).35, 36,

3.2.3 Particulate oxidizers in biogenic SOA

272

The double bond structures in isoprene and α-pinene are rapidly oxidized by OH radicals or ozone in

273

the first stage of photooxidation,10, 46-49 thus leading to a low production of electron-deficient alkenes.

274

Instead, biogenic SOA contains high concentrations of OHP compared to wood smoke particles and

275

aromatic SOA. As shown in Figure 2c, DTTm of both isoprene and α-pinene SOA were exclusively

276

attributed to OHP (mostly) and PAN. The decrease of DTTm with the photochemical aging was also

277

in conjunction with the decrease of OHP. In detail, the concentration of OHP in HNOX-isoprene SOA

278

was about 5.2 nmol/g at 12:15 (1st sample) with a slight drop in 2 h after the 1st sample, and that of

279

LNOX-α-pinene SOA was 7.3 nmol/g at 10:40 (1st sample) with a dramatic drop to 3.8 nmol/g in

280

3 h after the 1st sample. The decomposition of OHP, as explained in Section 3.2.2, was largely

281

dependent on the reaction pathway via the attack by OH radicals. Correspondingly, Surratt et al.

282

quantified the organic peroxides in LNOX-isoprene using the iodometric-spectrophotometric method

283

and reported a reduction of organic peroxides in aged SOA.50 The amount of PAN (Figure 2b) was

284

extremely low in HNOX-isoprene SOA due to the high volatility of low-molecular-weight PAN-type

14

285

compounds in isoprene SOA (e.g. 0.5 Torr for peroxy methacrylic nitric anhydride).51 However, PAN

286

compounds in LNOX-α-pinene SOA have a relatively high concentration (0.60 nmol/g at 10:40, and

287

0.44 nmol/g at 13:05), probably attributed to their low vapor pressure (ranging from 10-7 to 10-3

288

torr).52

4 ATMOSPHERIC IMPLICATIONS.

290

Traditionally, the mass-normalized DTT consumption rate has been measured to represent the

291

oxidative potential of catalytic particulate oxidizers (e.g. quinones), which lead to a linear increase of

292

DTT consumption with reaction time. However, the oxidative potential can also be processed by non-

293

catalytic DTT-reactive compounds in PM. Correspondingly, when the DTT consumption rate is not

294

constant with reaction time, it can mislead the interpretation of oxidative ability of PM. Thus, in order

295

to discern the source of oxidative potential, the mass-normalized DTT consumption (DTTm) of various

296

OA was measured with an extended reaction time, as demonstrated through this study. Only in fresh

297

wood smoke aerosol, DTTm presented a linear increase with reaction time due to quinones (Figure 1a).

298

For other OA including aged wood smoke and all SOA (Figures 1a and 2a), DTTm was nonlinear to

299

reaction time, thus evidently showing that DTTm was mostly or completely promoted by non-catalytic

300

DTT-reactive compounds. Hence, we suggest that DTTm is more suitable to scale the oxidative

301

potential of a variety of OA than the mass-normalized DTT consumption rate.

302

To understand the mechanistic role of OA in bearing the oxidative potential, the concentrations of

303

non-catalytic particulate oxidizers (i.e., OHP and PAN) and electron-deficient alkenes were quantified

304

using acellular assays or FTIR spectral data. In biogenic SOA, nearly 100% of DTTm was attributed

305

to OHP (Figure 2c). For toluene SOA, in addition to OHP, electron-deficient alkenes were also

306

important to increase DTTm. For example, in the LNOX-toluene SOA of this study, electron-deficient 15

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Environmental Science & Technology

Page 16 of 28

307

alkenes and OHP accounted for up to 67% and 37% of DTTm, respectively. Correspondingly, electron-

308

deficient alkenes may also significantly contribute to DTTm of wood smoke particles and gasoline

309

SOA. Through this study, a dynamic evolution of DTTm was observed with the photochemical aging

310

(Figures 1b and 2b). Highly aged particles were found to be less reactive to the sulfhydryl group of

311

DTT than the fresh or moderately aged particles (Section 3.1), corresponding to the decrease of

312

particulate oxidizers (i.e., quinones, OHP, and PAN) and electron-deficient alkenes (Figures 1b, 2b,

313

3, S2, Reactions SR8-15, Schemes S1-3 and Table S1). In the recent laboratory study, Krapf et al.

314

reported that a significant amount of peroxide-containing oxygenated products was formed from

315

ozonolysis of terpenes but these products were thermodynamically unstable (a lifetime in an order of

316

hours).53 Additionally, the further oxidation of electron-deficient alkene products (Scheme S5 and

317

Table S2) could also partially attribute to the decrease of the DTTm of OA such as wood smoke

318

particles and aromatic SOA, but more direct evidence is needed to prove the importance of electron-

319

deficient alkenes in the DTTm of aromatic-related SOA. In general, oxidative potential induced by PM

320

is indirectly linked to the toxicity of PM as it can cause disorders in cellular signaling cascades, the

321

development of inflammation, allergic responses and other respiratory diseases.54, 55 Based on our

322

results, the toxicity of fresh or moderately aged OA may be greater than that of highly aged OA. The

323

formation and the decay of particulate oxidizers and electron deficient alkenes of this study could

324

severely affect the interaction of OA with health because these chemical species are major contributors

325

to SOA mass in ambient air.

326

The atmospheric environment in rural areas is mostly influenced by biogenic SOA, which has a high

327

yield of OHP. While, conversely in urban areas the exhausted air plumes from gasoline- and diesel-

328

powered motor vehicles are significant sources of primary OA (POA) and SOA precursors.56, 57 It has

329

been estimated that motor vehicles contributed to 2.9±1.6 Tg-SOA/yr in the U.S. with a total urban 16

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 17 of 28

Environmental Science & Technology

330

emission of 3.1 Tg-SOA/yr,56 apparently suggesting that aromatic SOA is important in urban areas.

331

Especially, the study of SOA from gasoline-powered motor vehicles has emerged to be as a critical

332

imperative in recent years because of two reasons. First, the emissions of SOA precursors and POA

333

from diesel-powered motor vehicles are largely reduced due to the application of catalyzed diesel

334

particulate filters.56 Second, the OA derived from a gasoline vehicle is dominated by SOA based on

335

recent chamber studies.56 Typically, the ambient OA under the urban atmosphere consists of various

336

carbonaceous species originating from different aging stages including freshly formed species,

337

moderately aged species and highly oxidized species due to the hydrocarbons continuously emitting

338

from anthropogenic sources. Unlike the ambient air, chamber studies allow to measure the time series

339

of the oxidative potential of OA, although only limited types of aromatic or gasoline SOA can be

340

studied at a given NOx condition. Our studies of gasoline SOA, the characterization of DTTm and SOA

341

compositions, augment the understanding of the toxicity of PM produced in urban areas.

342

The implication of this study is not limited to the oxidative potential of organic compounds in aerosol

343

phase. Given the high abundance of DTT-active species in the gas phase, the oxidative potential of

344

gas-phase organic compounds should also be emphasized. For example, our previous study reported

345

that the concentration of PAN in the gas phase of the isoprene+NOx system was 200 times higher than

346

that in SOA.13 Correspondingly, the concentration of OHP and electron-deficient alkenes in gas phase

347

would also be high. Using the mathematical model, Davies reported that gaseous compounds can be

348

efficiently absorbed in the upper respiratory system (nearly 100%) due to their high diffusion

349

coefficients.58 Excess amounts of gaseous compounds beyond the clearance capacity of mucus in the

350

upper respiratory system, present a risk of being transported into the bloodstream and reaching the

351

heart. The toxicological evidence is mounting that non-catalytic oxidizers are able to bind to the

352

nucleophiles or nucleophilic sites in biomolecules, resulting in the DNA damage and the modification 17

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Environmental Science & Technology

Page 18 of 28

353

of proteins and lipids.59 For example, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, an OHP, is known to damage cells

354

through either lipid peroxidation or the depletion of glutathione.59, 60 Conjugated carbonyls has also

355

been recognized to induce toxicity in cellular materials through the formation of adducts with cysteine

356

sulfhydryl groups in functional proteins or guanine residues in DNA.61, 62 Hence, studies on the toxicity

357

of both gas-phase and particle-phase non-catalytic oxidizers and electron-deficient alkenes are needed

358

in future.
